Shared Hosting vs VPS. This is what happens. ^_^

Yesterday I moved some of my sites from Shared Hosting(Dreamhost) to VPS and, what I can say, I’ll never go back to shared hosting. What do you use to host your sites? Shared or VPS/Dedicated?
*red arrow is the time when the domain propagated to the new server.

I’ve been on the hunt for a new host since MediaTemple sold out to GoDaddy. I’d love to know who other elite authors use for hosting. I’ve looked at Host Dime, wpEngine, and a few others, but I can’t really dedicate myself to moving all those sites over to another server. Any advice from others?

You can take a look at DigitalOcean or Linode. Both are very good and their knowledge base is very rich.

I think you were on a poor hosting company, there are some shared hosts that work just fine if they’re a good company that doesn’t store 100’s of sites on the same server..and divide resources properly.

however, being an author here would probably involve having a VPS. For not only speed, but for total access. I’m recommending intovps.com for people that know their stuff with Linux, the prices, quality and support are extremely good, but it’s unmanaged.
